LEGO Duplo Number Train (10558)

The Lego Duplo Number Train (10558) is a colourful educational toy from the preschool Duplo building blocks range produced by Lego. Like other Duplo Lego toys, the Number Train is designed specifically for toddlers and young children between the ages of 1 ½ to 5 years and helps children to learn how to count.

Featuring a brightly coloured exterior and a chunky, child-friendly design, the Lego Duplo Number Train is designed to be visually attractive and fun to use. It is constructed from Duplo bricks, which are twice the height, length and width of standard Lego bricks. This means that the bricks are easier for small fingers to hold and more difficult for young children to swallow. The kit includes 31 pieces that are used to construct the train and two compatible figures. The train is designed to hold the number bricks, which are all different colours and display the numbers 1 to 10.

The Number Train can easily be constructed by young children by slotting the engine and four carriage bases together in a row at the hinges. The bases each have four yellow wheels attached, which allow the train to be rolled along the floor. The bricks can then be placed on top of the bases in numerical order and capped with a roof piece. The pieces can also be taken apart and used as building blocks in any configuration, allowing children the freedom to experiment with building.

In addition to being a fun preschool toy, the train offers many benefits to children’s learning and development. Its bright, colourful construction helps children to recognise and experiment with different shapes and colours as they play. Each number block is easily identified by its unique colour and the large number displayed on one side, which gives children plenty of potential for recognising different numbers and learning how to count. This versatile toy also gives children the freedom to try out new ideas and develop their creativity by using the blocks to build their own designs. The large bricks are easy to grip and help toddlers to develop their fine motor skills as they move the train around and experiment with building.

This multifunctional toy is an ideal choice for any parent who wants to support their child in the early stages of learning. It’s safe and fun to use and offers the added benefit of teaching children how to recognise shapes, colours and numbers simply by experimenting and playing with the toy.
